    Mpa 210 Leadership and Development: Reflection Paper On Contingency Theory

    Jessel Alvarez Pabio
    Contingency theory proposes that leadership success depends on situational factors. A leader's style must fit the task at hand, their personality, and the group's composition. Effective leadership is contingent on having a strong relationship between the leader and members. The theory also claims there is no universally best way to organize or lead, and a style that works in some situations may not in others, depending on internal and external constraints. An effective leader in one environment may become unproductive if transferred to a different environment where dominant factors have changed.

    REFLECTION PAPER ON CONTINGENCY THEORY

    The Contingency theories put forth the idea that the success of a leader hinges on the
    specific situation at hand. The leader or the leadership style used can make a particular
    problem effective. The factors that would determine this would include; the task, the
    leader's personality, and the group's composition meant to be lead.

    Its basic assumption is that the leadership success or failure is situational. It suggests
    that there must be a solid leader-to-member relationship. A leader that listens to his
    subordinates gives them hope and motivation to strive for greatness. It may not be the best
    idea to promote first, but the idea would still encourage growth in becoming a better team
    player and help members become leaders themselves. It would help them become better
    versions of themselves and help them to create stepping stones for the future. In turn, it
    would lead to personal and organizational rewards.

    Contingency Theory is also a class of behavioral theory that claims that there is no best
    way to organize a group, lead an organization, or make decisions. An organizational/
    leadership/ decision-making style that is effective in some situations, maybe not be
    successful in other cases. In other words, it depends upon various internal and external
    constraints factors such as: First, there is no universal way or one best way to manage an
    organization. Second, the design of an organization and its subsystems must fit with its
    environment. Third, Effective organizations not only have a proper fit with the environment
    but also between its subsystems. The leader's success is a function of various factors in the
    subordinate task and group variables.

    An effective leader becomes considerably unproductive when transferred to a different


    working environment or the dominant factors in the old environment change. Identified the
    subordinates' personality and attitude, task structure, and the leader's position in terms of
    power as the variables that influence leadership effectiveness.

    Moreover, the theory assumes that the favorable situation to a leader depends on the
    degree to which the case permits the leader's influence on the group members' behavior.
    This aspect of the theory defines effective leadership as the ability to influence others to
    achieve organizational goals.
